Welcome to the new blog, and here you will find posts that relate to the radio shows I am hosting on the Vers Libre radio station.
I will put up a post for each show, along with the date and time, and the content will have the set list, any poetry or short stories that were on the show, links to any contributors or samples etc. There may also be some notes on the show or general feelings and thoughts related to it.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and if you listen I hope you enjoy the show!
Cheers,
SVx

History
The idea behind Stealing Victories is as it sounds, creating opportunities no matter what your situation, and keeping going through tricky times. Taking the good from the bad or difficult. A kind of cautious optimism.
The phrase came from a late night conversation sitting in a car with a friend and he said something like 'sometimes in life you have to steal little victories, like tonight, they keep you going'. That was it, Stealing Victories was the name of my one man band from then on.
Things got in the way, but I came back to it and in around March 2018 I started writing poetry and short stories, which came out of the blue, but I found it rewarding and almost something I had to do. When I came up with a new idea, almost no matter where I was I would have to make a note of it.
Life changes us, and I am finally realising something that has been within me all my life, but I had no doubt suppressed.
I'm not a particularly good writer, but I enjoy it. Words, music, nature and family are the things that inspire and move me.
I'm not a particularly good DJ either, but a new challenge is round the corner.
I started listening to a Norwegian internet based radio station a few months back called Vers Libre. Based on free form radio, where the host/DJ has full control of the show, I thought I would like to have a go.
So here we are! I will be hosting a radio show for Vers Libre (www.verslib.re) and it will contain a real mixture of musical styles, along with some spoken word, poetry and samples, and some general chat. This is all brand new and I'm really looking forward to what path this journey takes.
Each show will be based around a theme, and I will post here around the time the show goes out, the set list, note of any contributors and links to them, and the poems/spoken word stuff.
I hope you enjoy the show!
